  • A 2022 Toyota Corolla gets around 40mpg highway and squeezes 5 people inside so it uses 0.5 gallons per person per 100mi.

    5 people in the Corolla is 2–3 times as many people as are at all likely to be in there. That’s a very skewed number.

    When using realistic numbers, cars come in at about the same per mile as large commercial airliners. (Flights tend to be far, far longer of course.)







  • Apple Watch.

    I had a couple of Garmins before and the difference is night and day. The Apple Watch isn’t perfect, but it’s clear that a lot of thought went into it.

    The Garmins on the other hand, were lowest of low effort.

    They blatantly didn’t talk to even a single cyclists while building their cycling app.

    Cyclists use average speed, not pace. Even the junkiest $3 cycle computer from Ali Baba gets this right, but not Garmin. They just copy-pasted the running screen.
